Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” Palestinians get 33%.
Thanks for sharing!
It actually surprises me to see 46/33. Gut feel, I would have put it closer to 60/20.
Depends how you phrase the question. If you ask people “do you think the nation of Israel has a right to exist” (are you a Zionist) it probably would be closer to 60%.
Plenty of “Zionists” (in the non-slur sense) are sympathetic to both parties. It’s just that internet discourse on the subject has become so radicalized and binary that it gets lost in the conversation.
